STAY AWAKE!!!

 

Colossians 4:2
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving

It's not enough to pray, you must stay awake.  I’m quite sure you are wondering what I mean by staying awake. It simply means staying vigilant, staying in tune with the spirit of God.  More than ever, it's important to know that these are days to stay fully awake not in the weariness of our soul but rather launching forth into deeper encounters.  

I have carried this burden for so long that in this season , God is doing a lot in just a little time, there's compression of years and the covenant of God would reinforce this new season.

Immediately, I was drawn to the story of David who ruled over Israel. David was a man after God’s own heart but also a man fully awake in his spirit. There were several times we were told in the scripture how David continually seeked  the face of God. Staying awake requires truly seeking God’s face. Moses knew this; when he said if the Lord would not go with him he would go no where. He knew it would take the presence of God to stand in the world full of evil. Evil isn't a man but our greatest enemy which is the devil.

Staying awake requires paying attention to the spirit of God.  More importantly, it's essential for believers to stand still and listen to the spirit of God because even in what looks like silence, God speaks.  The plan of the enemy is to distract us from paying attention to the constant move of God's spirit.

It's essential not to grow weary becoming the journey is still long. We must be fed fat with the manna of God which is his word and in constant watch. I pray that the Lord grants onto us the staying power this season and may all watchers stay awake and get up from the weariness
